Need Some Help Mounting a Drive

I have been trying to get some answers as to mounting hard drives so I can play music from XP in Linux. However, being a newbie to Linux, nothing really makes sense. Could someone please give me a detailed description of how I can do this? I have my music on an NTFS drive under Windows. Thanks for any and all help for this newbie.

If not, then you need to download the latest kernel (if it is not already on your system in /usr/src) and build it to support NTFS. (Please read the instruction at www.tldp.org on how to compile a new kernel.)
mkdir /mnt/WinXP mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/WinXP (assuming that your WinXP is on the first partition of the first drive--/dev/hda1!!!)
